Alabama - Bobby Eaton or Mike Jackson. As crazy as it sounds, Mike Jackson is looked upon as a huge star in portions of Alabama.
Georgia - I'd say Arn Anderson. Fun fact no one would remotely care about but me: I grew up just outside the town he's from (Rome) and his son and I were born in the same hospital on the same night. My dad talked to him for a couple of hours in the waiting room and didn't have a clue who he was due to him not being a wrestling fan. My dad still tells everyone who'll listen that Arn Anderson was the nicest guy on the planet.

this is where the born in billed from thing comes in. Dr Death was born in Colorado but billed from Oklahoma and definitely tied closer to OK Ah, my bad. I just jumped into it without reading.

I thought Williams just went to college there, but I could be wrong.

A few debate arguments: West Virginia - Heath Slater? He's the only one I know from WV off the top of my head John Morrison was also born in WV- and Jamie Noble was billed from state. Noble vs. Slater's a strong debate, but if so, Morrison would defer as the bigger one either way. Kansas City would be a strong question mark, since the Kansas and Missouri border makes it a double-one. Either way, I would argue Randy Orton for Missouri, just to make a more "guaranteed" pick and look if there's another Kansas option beforehand.

The Miz probably has the most visibility when it comes to Ohio, at least in the modern day.

For Rhode Island, it's between only two: Chuck Palumbo and Spike Dudley.

Born/Raised vs Billed Could be interesting......
Because you have 3 contenders for NC: Flair (Billed not Born), Hardys (Born/Blled), or Vincent Kennedy McMahon (Born not Billed)

I'm offended that, for MA, you'd put John Cena over Pete 'The Duke of Dorchester' Doherty.

As far as Arn Anderson goes, I always thought the Andersons were associated more with Minnesota?
Minnesota's a tough one as you also have the likes of Rick Rude and the Hennigs amongst others being from there.
Road Warriors or CM Punk for Illinois?

As far as actually being from here I'd say Heidenreich for Louisiana. Ted Dibiase Jr. for Mississippi.

It's the highest accolade a wrestler has ever received, and hundreds of years from now when people ask the question in history classes who was the first independent candidate to hold a major office in America, the answer is going to be a professional wrestler.

The Crusher is probably known by more people though. He was a wrestling icon for a few decades and one of the all time most known promos. Everyone over 45 who has ever watched wrestling knows who he is.
